It remains wild that a reactionary centrist has "Chatterton" as a name, like Richard Scarry wanted to put Atlantic Writer as a job in "Best Word Book Ever" but didn't think kids would get it

It's not a new observation at this point but that wild Noem/Lewandowski story in WSJ really brings home the extent to which all the Trump 2 cabinet-level goblins see their jobs as flying private, doing short-form video, and screaming at underlings. They all hate each other and none of them can read.

Barack Obama has like the third largest platform of anyone on earth and he’s using it to tell us to listen to a podcast by Ezra Klein, who has famously been one of the most embarrassingly wrong pundits of the second Trump term.
Here’s a podcast that does a good job of laying out what’s at stake, and why all of us need to get off the sidelines to demand change.

The last few years have seen the largest wave of immigration in American history. All those images we carry in our heads about people arriving at Ellis Island — we just surpassed that. Crime went down. Real wages went up. This is a fake problem. Enough is enough.

If you work for ice please understand that your kids will laugh at a character based on you dying in an action movie before the end of the decade. They’ll be in movies for really little kids. Like Phineas and Ferb shit. There will be an action figure of you with a detachable head

A father was getting his kids out of the neighborhood because it was unsafe & ICE threw flash bangs & tear gas at his car with children & a baby inside!
His 6 month old stopped breathing & all the children were hospitalized!

NEW: Last year, after signing up for ICE's 287(g) program, the Cochise County Sheriff's Office got a $1M grant.
It included $250K seemingly set aside for Sheriff Mark Dannels -- a Trump supporter -- to travel to conferences held at resorts and casinos:

Trump's thugs are going hog wild and tossing gas around in one of the busiest commercial districts in Minneapolis, just a mile or so from where I live. Complete insanity.
